That should really be all you need to make up your mind. But he's not a bad speaker (no Teddy Kennedy, not even a Robert Reich), and he's awfully centrist for a 'liberal'. Even Nixon, glorious bastard that he was, founded the EPA and tried to establish a guaranteed national income Great Ghu only knows why Kerry isn't running on his record investigating BCCI, opposing actual terrorists even when his own party united with the opposition to stop him.
Fundamentally, this election is a referendum on whether reality still matters in american politics.
(I voted third party last time - but I live in a state where the Electrical College makes my vote fairly irrelvant anyway. I don't mind the EC so much, but we need some way of making representatives more representative. PS - Hi Vernard!)
